Well Drillers Near Niagara, Wisconsin

A geological estimate for the Niagara area.

Detailed Summary

In the Niagara, WI region, well logs consistently show an upper sequence of unconsolidated sand and gravel ranging from about 8 to 72 feet, commonly 20–45 feet thick. This is typically underlain by granite or hard rock, which forms the primary aquifer below these unconsolidated deposits. Wells for residential use (5–15+ GPM) are generally cased through the sand/gravel into or just past the granite, seldom exceeding 150–225 feet total depth. High-capacity or low-yield sites may go deeper into the granite. Casing is usually set at the base of the unconsolidated material (35–45 ft). Static water levels are generally 18–25 ft below ground surface, and rotary mud circulation is the dominant drilling method. Grout is primarily cement, sealing surface to casing depth.
